Statement of Cardinal Egan Regarding Health-Care Mandate

The decision of the Administration in Washington, D.C., to force religious institutions to provide sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs to their staffs and employees is nothing short of a national disgrace. To treat the consciences of millions of American citizens as a matter of no consequence is an attack on all the best in the history and traditions of our beloved country. The decision needs to be reversed immediately and definitively.
